25 October 2025- The African National Congress (ANC) said it welcomes the announcement that South Africa has officially been removed from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list. The ANC said South Africa’s removal from the grey list is a direct outcome of decisive and coordinated action taken across the Government of Unity (GNU), law enforcement, regulatory bodies and the financial sector.
The ANC national spokesperson, Mahlengi Bhengu said over the past two years, the country has implemented comprehensive reforms to address the deficiencies identified by the FATF. Bhengu said this development is a vote of confidence in the country’s reform agenda and in their determination to ensure accountability, transparency and ethical governance.
“The ANC commends the leadership of the South African government, under President Cyril Ramaphosa, for driving this turnaround and for demonstrating that South Africa is serious about restoring confidence in its institutions and financial systems. The fight against corruption, financial crime, and illicit financial flows must remain a national priority, not only to meet international standards but to safeguard the integrity of our democracy and ensure that public resources are used for the benefit of the people,” she said.
25 October 2025- The Activists and Citizens Forum said the explosive testimony of witnesses A, B and C at the Madlanga Commission must not be taken lightly. The forum said they have made very serious allegations against senior police officers and produced evidence.
The Chairperson of Activists and Citizens Forum, Dennis Bloem said wWhilst they are aware that it is still allegations, the country cannot afford to have senior police officers linked to criminal syndicates and with dark clouds hanging over their heads. Bloem alleged that they are a danger to the safety and security of the country.
He further said it will be grossly irresponsible of the acting Minister of Police Feroz Chachalia and President Cyril Ramaphosa, to treat these allegations lightly and not remove these implicated officers from the system. Bloem added that Ramaphosa cannot wait for the finalisation of the commission.
“These officers will do more damage to the already badly damaged image of the police. If these senior officers stay on in their offices, the lives of the Political Killings Task Team investigators will be in danger. Anything can happen to them anytime. These investigators are already in hiding.
“We believe that the scary revelations before the Madlanga Commission and the Parliamentary Ad-Hoc Committee, clearly show not only infiltration of the criminal justice system but it is the capture of the Criminal Justice System by sophisticated criminal gangs and politicians,” he said.
Bloem said they call for the removal of these police officers.
25 October 2025- Banyana Banyana has picked up the tempo ahead of their return Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifier against DR Congo at the Dobsonville Stadium in Johannesburg on 28 October 2025. The camp was buzzing with energy yesterday as the team held its first training session with the entire squad present, marking an important moment in the build-up to the second leg WAFCON qualifier against DR Congo.
This was the first full training session with the addition of the team’s overseas-based stars Thembi Kgatlana, Hilda Magaia, Sinoxolo Cesane, and Amogelang Motau, all of whom rejoined the squad after club commitments abroad. Their arrival brings both experience and energy to the camp as South Africa look to secure their place at WAFCON 2026, following a hard-fought 1–1 draw in Kinshasa. With the full group now assembled, two players, Regina Mogolola and Thato Mofolo, have been placed on standby.
The technical team will now focus on fine-tuning tactical details and building cohesion among the returning players and those who featured in the first leg.
Banyana Banyana coach Thinasonke Mbuli expressed her satisfaction with the group’s readiness and outlined the plan for the days leading up to match day.
“We are happy now that everyone is in camp. Today is our start-up with everyone in training, and from tomorrow we’ll start focusing on our tactics. The good thing is we have three days to prepare for the match.
“Having the full team available has boosted morale within the camp. Thembi Kgatlana, one of South Africa’s most decorated players, spoke about her excitement to be back in national colours and her determination to help the team finish the job at home.
“It’s amazing, always an honour to come back and represent the country. I’m in good spirits and I’m healthy,” she said with a smile after training,” she said.
There was also a sense of inspiration from the younger members of the squad, including a rising talent, Bonolo Mokoma (17), who reflected on what it means to be part of Banyana Banyana at such an early stage of her career.
“Making the Banyana Banyana team at the age of 17 is a huge opportunity for me because there are a lot of young girls dreaming to be in my position, and here I am at the age of 17,” she said.
With all focus now shifting toward the second leg, the team will spend the coming days working on tactical organization to ensure they’re at their sharpest on match day. Having secured an away goal in Kinshasa, Banyana Banyana go into the return fixture with confidence but are under no illusions about the challenge ahead against a DRC side that has shown resilience throughout the qualifiers.
The match on 28 October 2025 promises to be a thrilling encounter as South Africa aim to seal qualification for WAFCON 2026 and continue building momentum on home soil.
